The secret to a successful diet

There are many strategies to dieting, and the internet and health media are often highlighting the latest dieting fad – often with unbelievable success stories

My favourite infomercial quote:

“I lost 10 pounds in only 1 week!”

……Yeah right!!

I have spoken to many dietitians whom I have worked with – and they all state 1 thing about dieting……

they never give anyone a diet!

It’s all about simply eating correctly (and healthy) – not dieting.

The reason behind this philosophy is that by teaching someone how to eat well will lead to the greatest life long success.

How many have attempted to diet – and can honestly say that they actually got long lasting results…. probably not that many.

The reason that dieting doesn’t work is that its too hard to stick to something that is

difficult

something that you feel that you HAVE to do

If you simply just eat well as a normal lifestyle, you’re never dieting, and your body and health will be better for it!

My dietinghealthy eating tips

Shop after a meal – going shopping hungry leads to disaster (bring on the quick junk!)

When at the supermarket don’t go down an aisle – all the non processed and healthy items are in the fresh fruit/veg, meat and dairy sections – so limit which aisles that you go down

Fill your plate with vegetables and good carbs – and only a smallnormal meat portion (100g or 3.5 ounce of raw meat). Butchers and shops want us to consume/buy more as it increases their revenue – its very hard to find a 100g steak – so cut a larger piece in half!

I believe that everyone has the ability to live a healthy, happy, and active life.
After having worked for 14 years in the health and fitness industry - as an Exercise Physiologist, Exercise Scientist and previously as a personal trainer - I've seen so many people confused about the massive amount of information available on the internet and social media.
For this reason, I have decided to help you navigate the confusing world of health and fitness, and in the process (hopefully) helping you become more informed, educated and motivated to improve your health and fitness goals!
